When you enable the map and passes the options to it, you have the chance to specify a mapTypeControlOptions. These have an Array that specifies what kind of maptype's you will allow the user to be able to see. It can be seen here http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapTypeControlOptions.

If you don't want the user to have any options as to the maptypes, you can also specify that by setting the maps mapTypeControl to false.
